Re: the whinging pom , bars open
To be myself -tomorrow morn my prospective employer calls yet again.
It feels like they are taking the piss- I went to a recruitment fair in Manchester last year and they have my application-they call me and nothing seems to come of it - they have interviewed me over the phone - and then for the wrong job role( i.e i can't travel as I have a five year old) - its like they don't look at the information I give them, even when i tell them, they appear to forget it.
I'm frustrated because I don't understand what there game is - either they are interested, or not. At the same time I am scared of losing the employment connection.
Hope this makes sense.
